For example, the simple, ordinary food that everybody must buy, like bread, milk, flour, and vegetable
14、oil, is spread all over the store. You have to walk by all the more interesting and more expensive things in order to find what you need. The more expensive food is in packages with bright colored pictures. This food is placed at eye level so you see it and want to buy it. The things that you have t
15、o buy anyway are usually located on a higher or lower shelf. However, candy and other things that children like are on lower shelves. One study showed that when a supermarket moved four products from floor to eye level, it sold 78 percent more. Another study showed that for every minute a person is
16、in a supermarket after the first half hour, she or he spends $50. If someone stays forty minutes, the supermarket has an additional $5.00. So the store has a comfortable temperature in summer and winter, and it plays soft music. It is a pleasant place for people to stay and spend more money. Some st
17、ores have red or pink lights over the meat so the meat looks redder. They put light green paper around lettuce (生菜) and put apples in red plastic bags. So be careful in the supermarket. You may go home with a bag of food you were not planning to buy. The supermarket, not you, decided you should buy

21、attempted to change the weather by using magic. When experience taught him this was impossible, he tried to forecast weather conditions. Even earlier than 1000 B. C. there were seers (预言家) in Babylonand priests clever enough to denounce (抨击) as cheaters who predicted the weather a year in advance. S
22、ome forecasters used methods that seem to have no connection with the actual factors controlling the weather. Chickens and other animals were sacrificed and their intestines (肠) poked to find signs indicating rain or drought. Somewhat more scientific were predictions based on vegetation, “Onions ski
23、n very thin, mild winter coming in. Onions skin thick and tough, coming winter cold and rough.“ Insects and animals were also favorite weather clues, “ When the glowworm lights his lamp, then the air is always damp (潮湿的)“. “If spiders forsake their cobwebs, the weather will for certain break.“ “If f

27、 the aboveBarditch High School decided to hold an All-School Reunion. Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fif
28、ty years, was wheeled to the Park. Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans (嘟囔声) when Ms. Yates was about to speak.

29、udents and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined. Then Ms. Yates started to speak; “I cant tell you how pleased I am to be here.

32、ork.

37、?（分数：2.00）A.Reliable and devoted.B.Tough and generous.C.Proud but patient.D.Strict but caring.According to psychologists (心理学家) , an emotion is aroused when a man or animal views something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call th
38、is emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world. It can be created by a persons thoughts. Every
39、one has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns how to act in certain situations because of an emotion. Psychologists think that the
40、re are two types of emotions: positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight and hope. They are aroused by something that appeals to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfied. They include anger, fear, despair, sadness and disgust. In growing up,
41、a person learns to cope with the negative emotions in order to be happy. Emotions may be weak or strong. Some strong emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try any means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the person may choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion. Strong emotions can m
42、ake it hard to think and to solve problems. They may prevent a person from learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that he cannot think properly. The worry drains valuable mental energy he needs for the examinatio
